Former U.S. President Bill Clinton said on Wednesday the U.S. needs to work harder at making friends so it will have fewer enemies.

"In a world where we can't possibly occupy or jail or defeat every person that might wish us ill, we need to work harder to make a world with more partners and fewer terrorists," said Clinton, speaking at the groundbreaking of a new world headquarters for aid group Heifer Project International.

His successor, President Bush has launched a global "war on terrorism" since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington that have included invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.

Clinton said greater humanitarian cooperation would make the world safer because the use of force could not curb all anti-U.S. sentiment.

The Heifer Project, founded 60 years ago in Iowa but now located in the Arkansas capital, distributes farm animals, fish and poultry to the poor in the United States and 47 other countries.

It requires recipients of its aid to give the first offspring of the donated animal to another family in poverty, who repeat the process.

The new headquarters, which will include a mock global village, is within walking distance of Clinton's presidential library, now under construction in Little Rock.
