Of course it was.

"States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of
evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world.  By seeking weapons
of mass destruction, these regimes pose a grave and growing danger. 
They could provide these arms to terrorists, giving them the means to
match their hatred.  They could attack our allies or attempt to
blackmail the United States.  In any of these cases, the price of
indifference would be catastrophic.

"We will work closely with our coalition to deny terrorists and their
state sponsors the materials, technology, and expertise to make and
deliver weapons of mass destruction.  We will develop and deploy
effective missile defenses to protect America and our allies from
sudden attack.  (Applause.) And all nations should know:  America
will do what is necessary to ensure our nation's security.

"We'll be deliberate, yet time is not on our side.  I will not wait
on events, while dangers gather.  I will not stand by, as peril draws
closer and closer.  The United States of America will not permit the
world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most
destructive weapons."

--George Bush, State of the Union address, 1/29/02

"It's very definitely a clear statement of the president's attitude
and it leans -- it seems to me -- toward a policy of telling these
governments that if they do not get out of business of terror and
developing weapons of mass destruction, they stand at risk of their
regimes being deposed forcefully by the United States."

--James Woolsey, former CIA director, on PBS "Newshour" 1/30/02
In 1998 the president of the United States and the Congress set a national policy of regime change for Iraq, not any other country. Iraq is and was a totally different situation than Iran. Nobody has threatened Iran with regime change as a policy but they were put on notice that spreading terrorism and WMD's would not be tolerated. So what does Iran do? They start developing their own WMD's , nukes. Like the child that is told not to play in the street for it's own safety, and what does it do, but goes out onto the freeway. And now Iran has the audacity  to threaten the United States and other western nations with unconventional warfare tactics, terrorism, If they are prevented forcibly from implementing their scheme. Iran has never needed a nuclear weapon for protection. The Mullahs of Iran should have taken a lesson from Kaddhaffi and left well enough alone. But I believe they are counting on political resistance from Democrats to prevent Bush from using any force to stop them from developing their goal. Again the above paragraphs tie the dangers of State sponsored terrorism and WMD's, something Iran was not guilty of. Now that they are intent on having both, state sponsored terrorism and WMD's, they put themselves at risk for regime change..
