Is there absolutely no respect for this country coming from DC?

From NRO, Jay Nordlinger: Around the world, bowing, scraping, throwing money away, advocating for new taxes on our overtaxed citizens to equalize the world's economy even if they don't like to work themselves, licking the boots of dictators, communists and murderers, can we not tell the world ONCE to mind their own business? CAN WE NOT?

Posner said in addition to talks on freedom of religion and expression, labor rights and rule of law, officials also discussed Chinese complaints about problems with U.S. human rights, which have included crime, poverty, homelessness and racial discrimination.

 He said U.S. officials did not whitewash the American record and in fact raised on its [their?] own a new immigration law in Arizona that requires police to ask about a person’s immigration status if there is suspicion the person is in the country illegally.

I hope I have read that incorrectly, or am interpreting it incorrectly. Did we, the United States, talking to a government that maintains a gulag, that denies people their basic rights, that in all probability harvests organs, apologize for the new immigration law in Arizona? Really, really?
