Of course it would be better. The despots are the only people who can strike enough fear and strike enough, to keep a semblance of order. Without them the Armies become fragmented, the internal tribal hostilities worsen and more frightening is countries like Iran have no one to fear.
This is a region split by religious ideologies, sub sects of religions, powerful tribes and men looking for power. Iraq, Iran, Syria, etc. Would be far richer if they dropped the things that separate them and sold oil and produce to the West. With a better system of trickle down.
Poverty breeds revolution, without Islam they would be Communists.
