McCain: This must not turn into Tiananmen Square
Sen. John McCain on Sunday painted a grim picture of the potential consequences of violence in the streets of Egypt.
"We cannot afford another Tiananmen Square in Cairo," the Arizona Republican said on CNN's "State of the Union," noting that the introduction of the army to keep peace in the streets has been a positive development in recent days.
"The bottom line is this: there are some good signs here, its not all terrible," McCain said. "The fact that the army is in control...the army is a respected institution."
But he seemed to give room for the Mubarak government needs to change so that Egypt can transition to a democracy. It's the best of "a lot of bad options," McCain said.
"Not every country can become a democracy at the snap of a finger," McCain said. "Mubarak cannot continue with the oppressive regime they have now."
