because it doesn't include disarming hezbollah, and because Israel has no reason now to trust that they will stop missile attacks.
Then if a Hezbollah attack DOES still happen Israel wants to be able to defend itself with out the worry of killing Lebanese army, as if they were to kill some lebanese army after an attack by Hezbollah, Lebanon might take it to be an ack of war.
Israel also does not accept because they want to clear out more hezbollah, and ensure hezbollah does not occupie a border buffer zone and re-orginize, again something the Lebanese won't do.
All of the major players agree that an international force comes in Israel will leave.
The only ones that disagree with that are the nations which would prefer there be no Israel to begin with.

yeah. well. the jury is still out on that one.
a lot's happened since 2003. there already WAS talk of merging Hezbollah with the regular army before the whole thing went postal. might sound dastardly at first glance but one look at Sri Lanka tells you door number is not great shakes.
