Or you could NOT compare chess to war, and accept the fact that the rule is there, and that it makes sense.

I don't think their saying they have a problem with the rule. I think they saying why it makes sense to call it a draw:D
It makes sense because stalemate deprives both players from the possibility of checkmating the opponent.
I think people are complaining why it doesn't and why it isn't a checkmate.
Chess is like a war. Would it make sense to say it's like the king is hiding? It's like the pieces that attack the kings surrounding spaces are only searching around him, and if the king unveils himself (but knowing that he can't) he'll die. But I guess since the king can't "die" he never really gets "found" and he's not captured or anything. A tie would kind of make sence.
