He hasn't replied (I'm currently overseas and it'd be 1am or so in Australia) but for what it's worth, I grew up a couple suburbs over from the largest refugee resettlement area in Australia, I've grown up, went to school and worked with Middle Eastern refugees and their children for most of my life.
Not a single one has kind things to say about the United States, though funnily enough some of the older ones love China (And say the usual Nihao and xie xie to me). Speaking with the older guys, alot of them are mega pissed because all their education and experience at home counted for shit when they got to Australia, doctors becoming cabbies and that sort of thing (also the destruction of their homelands, that's a pretty big factor in the hatred I think. )
