You can read a lot more about circumcision here, on Wikipedia: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Circumcision is a procedure in which the male foreskin is cut off, usually shortly after birth. This is generally done for religious reasons, or because the procedure became popular long ago in the United States and fathers want their son's penises to look like their own - and no, that doesn't necessarily make a lot of sense.
Circumcision is both a Jewish and Muslim religious rite. Among western nations, the United States has more circumcisions than anywhere else in the world. The procedure has fallen out of favor in Europe and most other parts of the world.
Hygiene is NOT a good reason for circumcision. The foreskin is not particularly "dirtier" than other parts of the body, although that's still a common myth in the USA. But the subject is somewhat controversial.
The foreskin contains many nerve endings, and the removal of it changes the sexual experience for the male and his future partner(s).
It's worth noting that all men are born with a foreskin; it's a natural part of the body.
In some third-world countries a procedure is performed on girls that is called "female circumcision". This procedure is generally considered to be mutilation (it is also known as "female genital cutting"). Female circumcision usually involves removal of both the clitoral hood and often the clitoris itself, under the assumption that if the female is unable to feel sexual pleasure, she is less likely to have an affair. These procedures are often done under highly unhygienic circumstances; infection is common, and major permanent mutilation and deaths have been reported.
Some feel that male circumcision is also mutilation.
And that's probably more than you wanted to know! :D

Circumcision -- The surgical removal of the male foreskin, a layer of skin covering the head of the penis, basically the skin is just cut off for hygeine, religious or sometimes medical reasons.

When a boy is born he has a layer of skin covering the head of the penis, when he is circumsized, this skin is essentially cut off. In general, it's just more hygenic, otherwise bacteria and other gross things can be trapped under the layer of foreskin.
