(Why would a "loyal American" choose to live (or spend a large amount of time in Lebanon)?)
Because Lebanon without war is a slice of heaven. Think of country with beautiful temperate Mediterranean weather without the ridiculously high prices of a French Nice or Riviera. The Mediterranean water even in the dead winter is still warmer than the Pacific Ocean - Imagine skiing on Mount Lebanon and within half hour swimming in the Mediterranean (not many swim in the winter, but you could). The food, women, and nightlife are awesome and the Lebanese people are warm and hospitable and know how to have fun. Lebanon would be the perfect retirement spot for me.
Think of all the American citizens who live in places other than the United States. There are tons of them. Ask yourself why you are targeting only Americans who live in Lebanon. Regardless, most Americans citizens stuck there now were there for vacation or business and do not live there permanently.

When the artillery and bombs start to fall on your Hezbollah occupied paradise, I have a strange feeling you'd consider relocating.

Let's see... perhaps it's due to the fact that it's an Islamofascist stronghold with ties to Syria and Iran? I bet that before Israel was forced to defend itself and take the fight to Hezbollah, you couldn't drag any of those American citizens away from Lebanon. Now they expect an immediate rescue, all on the American taxpayer's dime, of course.
