When in Rome...

This forum has been very educational. Is it safe to say, then, that while the public health practice for years and years in the U.S. has been to circumcize boys at birth; that this has not been a practice followed in other 'western' countries such as the U.K.? This is an honest question and not meant to ignite political factions one way or the other. Ignorant or not, I made the assumption this was a pretty much across the board policy. And, if circumcision has not been the policy in the U.K. in the past, why? (again without political overtones, just interested in the facts). Is it now? Thank you for your enlightened response.
