Axis of evil

What was Bush thinking when he used the expression "axis of evil" to link Iran, Iraq and North Korea?
Quote:
from the dictionary

Axis: An alliance of powers, such as nations, to promote mutual interests and policies.
Axis: The alliance of Germany and Italy in 1936, later including Japan and other nations, that opposed the Allies in World War II.
North Korea says Bush remarks fell just short of declaring war.

Was the President's use of the the word "axis" in the State of the Union address appropriate and wise?

Especially, if these nations have "nukular" weapons, as he says?
