If the Lebanese army moved in without an international force, they would have been pounded on by Hezbollah and the Israelis. Hezbollah isn't going to disarm because they know that it won't stop Israel from trying to destroy them, so why even make the attempt. Even asking was pretty stupid, since the inevitable answer caused a loss of face for the army.
It's too bad, since without the disarm request it might have been possible to set up the 12 mile DMZ.
