There really is none. The two wars had very little to do with each other.
The only way that they are linked is that the US supported Afghan Mujahedin during the Afghan-Soviet Conflict in the 1980s, which included al-Qaeda as an organization. After the Soviets retreated from Afghanistan in 1989, the United States chose not to invest in developing the Afghan State or providing further support to the Mujahedin. This, in addition to general US Foreign Policy frustrated them, so they organized terrorist attacks on the United States in 1993 (which failed) and in 2001 (which was successful) to destroy the Twin Towers as well as bombing US embassies in Africa in the late '90s and bombing the USS Cole in Yemen. In retailiation, the United States invaded Afghanistan to destroy al-Qaeda. President Bush then argued that Iraq was also connected to this, which is pure nonsense, and asked Americans to support an invasion of Iraq, which led to the Iraq War of 2003-2011.
