There was a cultural tradition in the US that provided a "medical" reason for it - during the 18th and 19th Centuries circumcision supposedly helped stop masturbation...
Yeah, that really worked! My two boys were both circumcised as infants, and I really wonder why now - I didn't give it much thought at the time. At least we Americans don't practice the "split the penis down the entire top" sort of puberty ceremony that some African (and maybe native Australian?) groups do.
