Dead Sea, Jordan, 23 October 2011 - The United States must help the Arab Spring succeed, said John McCain, Senator from Arizona (Republican), USA, at the World Economic Forum Special Meeting on Economic Growth and Job Creation in the Arab World, taking place on 21-23 October 2011 at the Dead Sea, Jordan.
"Young Arabs want US leadership and access to US technology and investment," McCain pointed out. He also said that the US does not fear the participation of Islamist parties in the political processes of newly democratic countries.
McCain issued a stern warning to Syrian President Assad. "The Assad regime has spilled too much blood to remain in power. It should not assume that the international community will let it get away with mass murder." He also warned Iran not to try to hijack the Arab Spring.
