Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said that despite the potential threat of radical extremism, he is confident democracy will succeed in Libya.
"There is a threat of radical Islamic extremism hijacking this and other revolutions in that part of the world, but I'm confident and I know their leaders, that with our help…they will succeed," said McCain to the CBS Early Show Tuesday.
McCain told CBS that "there is no doubt" that the Qaddafi regime is coming to an end.
He called on the U.S. to help any newly-formed government in Libya with the technical and bureaucratic aspects of running a country, rather than only providing money.
