What anti-globers should be doing is expressing solidarity with the anti-war movement, not bragging about how much better they are at organizing than the anti-war organizers.

I'd like to point out that many of us in the anti-glob movement don't make a distinction between anti-war and anti-glob organizing. Capitalism requires a militarized state to function. Part of being anti-capitalist means being against militarism.

INTERNATIONALISM IN PRACTICE

An American soldier in a hospital explained how he was wounded: He said, "I was told that the way to tell a hostile Vietnamese from a friendly Vietnamese was to shout ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ If he shoots, he’s unfriendly. So I saw this dude and yelled ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ and he yelled back, ‘To hell with President Johnson!’ We were shaking hands when a truck hit us."
