The rebels have displayed military strength and organisation in capturing several major military bases, seizing weaponry, disrupting supply lines, and forcing the military to pull back.

I suspect that they're getting quite a bit of help from the US with intelligence and weaponry.

I wonder what would happen if armed rebels tried to take over the US government by force. Would the world condemn the Obama administration for using lethal force to repel the attacks?

Good questions CJ. It is the right of any govt to put down an armed rebellion, however, this has been set aside in the case of Libya and Syria. Next, it could be your country, or mine (Australia).

Ultimately, we will regret backing the Syrian rebels. The law of unintended consequences will take effect.
