Robin describes that the front page of the New York Times did not contain any news about the war, which makes him feel sorry.

Explanation:

"Sunrise Over Fallujah" is a novel written by Walter Dean Myers. The novel is about the life of Robin Perry a. k. a 'Birdy.' Birdy is an eighteen-year-old boy who joins the army after the Vietnam War.

At the end of the novel, when Birdy is at the hospital, being treated for his wounds, he received the New York Times which was several days old. In this newspaper, Robin was surprise to find nothing written at the front page of the newspaper about the war or what's happening in Iraq. He just found a small square inside the paper that mentioned the names of two people who were killed in action. But he could not recognise the names of those people. Robin felt sorry about it.
