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?
I believe the reference to WWII was deliberate. As for "fell just short of declaring war", I believe that remark fails to qualify as either a horseshoe or a hand-grenade: close doesn't cut it. And what would N. Korea do about it anyway?
