...argued that our son would not feel embarrassed either way, since compared with American babies in the 1960s, when 90% got snipped, about half of newborns are now deforeskinned - and only about 30% of California infants.

Getting a feel for situations like these takes time. Even Ronald Reagan, with his reputation for decisiveness, never did settle whether to allow the Marines he sent to help keep peace in Lebanon in 1982 to use deadly force to protect themselves. The Iranian speedboats that threatened oil tankers in the Persian Gulf...
