I have created a new prediction market http://cryptofresh.com/ENDWAR. 

This asset is backed by USD, but the GUI is still trying to back it with BTS.  @svk would it be possible to change the borrow mechanism in the GUI again so that it backs this asset with USD?

This asset will be worth 1USD if the current war in Yemen ceases before January 1st 2017.  I decided to create ENDWAR after reading https://www.reddit.com/r/BitShares/comments/41wjnc/anyone_working_on_implementing_social_policy/  If someone would like to promote the end of this war they can borrow the asset and either give it away, or sell at a very steep discount to activists that are working to end this war.  It is a great way of raising money for a cause you believe in while only risking your money if the result you are looking for is accomplished.
What other ENDWAR assets would you be interested in?  ENDWAR.IRAQ  ENDWAR.SYRIA  Any other social goods that you think we could accomplish, that you would like to see a market for?
