No, they don't need a strong fist. What they need is a revision of the arbitrary colonial borders from the 20ies and 30ies. That led to caging in different ehtnicities, believes and tribes, who haven't got any love for each other. They never wanted to form a society in the first place. Strong fist was only the one keeping the lid on the boiling kettle by establishing a Sunni minority rule over the Shia majority. It says nothing about the people not being ready to elect their own governments.

It's very simplistic to talk about the people of the Middle East, since they're as diverse as anywhere else.
