Beheadings v. Drone Assassinations

They look so silent, anoymous, and benign but the U.S. fleet of armed drones have ripped open human bodies with savage brutality, including hundreds and hundreds of innocent civilians, across the world over the last decade or more. Why do Americans hate beheadings but love drone killings? What accounts for our irrational response to these two very different forms of illegal execution, one very profitable and high-tech, usually resulting in many collateral deaths and injuries, and the other very low-tech, but provoking fear and righteous condemnation from the citizens whose country prefers the high-tech? The answer lies in human psychology.
