As I understand it, they broke it by violating the "no fly" zones multiple times, as well as other violations which were largely ignored by the Clinton administration. Bush simply laid down the law. Several times. Each time, Iraq didn't heel. So we went in.

They also continued to deny access to UN weapon inspectors. Only at the elenth hour did they finally agree to allowing access and I believe that was somewhat "limited". This left them in 'material breach' of UN resolution 687 (?) in 1991 and then 1441. I believe both of these give a case for war.
Although I do agree with the principles for war, I don't agree with what has gone on afterwards.
