You do realise that people were criticising US bombing campaigns and assassinations long long before the use of drones? People talk about drones because the vast majority of "blowing people up" that the US does these days is done with drones. Before drones people complained about conventional bombers or cluster bombs or land mines or carpet bombing or agent orange. In most of these cases the issue wasn't the technology itself, it was the fact that the technology was being used for mass killing of random civilians. If the US was flying drones about just to take pictures of things people would talk about them far less. I hope that addresses your concerns.
