The best two services for English programming in the Middle East are
SHOWTIME Arabia and
ORBIT.
These are subscription service (just like DirecTV and DN here in the US). You will have to buy their receiver and small dish. Sometime they offer the equipment free if you make a 12 months commitment. Since it is a Pay TV service, you will also get a smartcard with the box.
The 40+ channels available with either of these providers are mostly American and in English. These two comnpanies have dealers throughout the Middle East. I am not sure if they have a dealer in IRAQ, they might.
