President Obama doesn't see any contradiction between his Nobel Peace Prize and his actions in Libya.

Irony, maybe, but no contradiction.

"I think the American people don't see any contradiction in somebody who cares about peace also wanting to make sure that people aren't butchered because of a dictator who wants to cling to power," Obama told CNN En Espanol in an interview taped in El Salvador.

Critics of the Libya action, such as Bolivian President Evo Morales, have called on the Nobel committee to revoke Obama's 2009 prize.

In his interview, Obama noted that "when I received that award, I specifically said there was an irony, because I was already dealing with two wars."
