Well, "should" is not "would".
The zones you envision would need solid protection. Else you end up like the Dutch at Srebrenica. Solid protection needs a robust mandate. A VERY robust mandate. You need huge and costly military resources and a whole lot of money. You need the UNSC speaking unisono for all that. You will not get that. You need to fight your way in, and then keep on fighting to hold your ground. Hezbollah and Iran are against negotiations, so is Assad, so is AQ, the radical militias, parts of the FSA. Even if the FSA would sympathise with your idea (which i doubt they do), you would still need to fight on two fronts against two different enemies at the same time, with the Lebanon soup cooking over any moment and spilling into Israel. A brawl everybody against everybody.
Don't want to attack you, but: stop dreaming. It's reality you are dealing with. And reality is no vegetarian, but a carnivore.
