Today is the 100th anniversary of the armistice, ending fighting in the Great War. It is the concluding centennial observance of a war that started in 1914, with the United States of American entering the war in 1917. Entering the war, there was talk of ending the threat of German militarism, ascendent since the Franco-Prussian War. In the face of the industrialized slaughter, the horror of the trenches, and with faith in man's ability to mold more perfect institutions not yet confronted with the far larger horrors to come, people dreamed of a lasting peace. The phrase capturing these aspirations was "the war to end all wars."
We see now, as the people, who first heard those words, knew by the 1930s, that the phase is as mockingly empty as the ancient cry, recorded in Genesis 11:4 —
"Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth." (NIV)
Technology was supposed to offer such deterrence, as to prevent war. Alfred Nobel is claimed to have sought an explosive so terrible as to ensure mutual annihilation of those who dared use it.
According to the Austrian countess Bertha von Suttner, Alfred Nobel, as early as their first meeting in Paris in 1876, had expressed his wish to produce material or a machine which would have such a devastating effect that war from then on, would be impossible. The point about deterrence later appeared among Nobel's ideas. In 1891, he commented on his dynamite factories by saying to the countess: "Perhaps my factories will put an end to war sooner than your congresses: on the day that two army corps can mutually annihilate each other in a second, all civilised nations will surely recoil with horror and disband their troops." Nobel did not live long enough to experience the First World War and to see how wrong his conception was.
Perhaps that vision was imperfectly realized in the hydrogen bomb and the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction, yet war went on under the nuclear umbrellas.
Expertly designed institutions were supposed to save humanity from future slaughter. The Weimar Republic and the League of Nations were the institutions thought to represent the very best minds, after World War I. The League of Nations was ardently advanced by an American president, Woodrow Wilson, who had risen from academia. There he had written "The Study of Administration," providing justification for taking governance, out of the hands, of what his class considered the ignorant masses, into the hands of technocrats—like himself. Read these 27 clearly written pages, and you will see the height of his ambition for the better ruling of the world.
The United States Senate was not so enthralled, with the idea, of a super-sized mutual defense entity, that could drag America back into wars, not of their choosing.
On September 16, Senator Lodge called up the treaty for consideration of the full Senate. On November 15, the chamber was still considering the treaty when, for the first time in its history, the Senate voted to invoke cloture–or cut off debate–on the treaty. Four days later, the Senate took up Senator Lodge's resolution of ratification, which included fourteen reservations to the treaty. The Lodge resolution failed on a 39-55 vote. The Senate then considered a resolution to approve the treaty without reservations of any kind, which failed on a 38-53 vote. After 55 days of debate, the Senate had rejected the Treaty of Versailles.
The Weimar Republic was constructed by men who were the product of German universities, then seen as leaders in all manner of science, including "political science." The Weimar Constitution was, on its face, a remarkable achievement:
This constitution made the Weimar Republic one of the most democratic and liberal political systems of its time. It provided for universal suffrage, contained a limited bill of rights and offered a proportional method of electing the Reichstag.
Yet, both the Weimar Republic and the League of Nations failed. The Germans were not done with making their way in the world by military, rather than commercial, force. Nor were other nations done with enlarging their territories or spheres of influence by force, or the threat of force.
And so, the "war to end all wars" became a bitter joke. And the disillusionment, in the seemly vain loss of so many, may have signaled weakness to those spoiling for a rematch. Yet, that disillusionment was not necessarily the whole truth of public opinion. See this remarkable BBC presentation, The Long Shadow: Europe After World War One, for a remarkably objective presentation of how this played out in Great Britain.
At a century's distance, our views are conditioned by the eventful intervening years. Yet, on this occasion, it is right and proper to stop and acknowledge the enormous sacrifices and the heroes, known and unknown to many. We humans may never eliminate war, but pray that we never fall, lurch, or march into such butchery, such wholesale killing of one another, again.

The question is not if another war on the scale of the Great War will happen again, but when. We are living on borrowed time.

Our globalist friends claim that the structures set up at the end of WW2 prevented a direct clash between the US and the Soviet Union. Skeptics of globalism assert that MAD and some luck were the drivers. There was no general war in a Europe between 1815 and 1914 yet it lacked a UN or a NATO type structure.

Fantastic post. Thanks.

A price of having these global institutions like the UN or the League of Nations seems to be that internal country problems fester. Tens of millions of people were killed while we didn't have a "war" with the Soviet Union. Currently, hundreds of thousands or maybe millions of people are being killed in de facto wars that never get resolved because the UN doesn't want to acknowledge, since an actual war has to end with a "winner" and a "loser."
So far (in my view), commercial trade is the most effective deterrent to war. But, because human nature is human nature, there will always be bad strongmen who seek control, and sometimes people (maybe with the help of a good strongman) have to beat the crap out of them.

The problem of violence has a solution that on the national levels many nations have implemented. What we lack at an international level is the effective rule of law to bind states and enforce peace. Absent an arbitrating institution with superior levels of force all we have is personal violence to settle our disputes.
In the absence of Law you always have violence.
RightAngles
There will always be war because there will always be human nature. Those who believe they can put an end to it (we used to call them Hippies) by making protest signs or placing a flower in the business end of a soldier's rifle, and liberals who think if only we float enough candles down a river and show them we mean them no harm, they will like us will get blown up right along with the rest of us.
The best thing we can hope to achieve is deterrence. We do that by being the strongest and most feared and most armed. There will still be wars because humans will always be warlike and have a need to conquer and be on top. But when you're the Superpower, at least the wars won't happen on your soil .

This is a great post, Clifford. In a strange case of synchronicity, I was thinking along similar lines in the shower this morning, as the centennial of Armistice Day had me pondering the Great War.
I believe that Andrew Klavan has opined that the culture of Europe died in WWI. Douglas Murray has a similar thesis in The Strange Death of Europe, which I've heard him express as the culture of the Continent finding itself in the state of Icarus, had he survived the fall. Like the story of the Tower of Babylon, the myth of Icarus is about hubris.
I wonder if the cause is not deeper. Your thesis, if I'm understanding it correctly, is that the extraordinary cost of the Great War required it be justified by an extraordinary lofty goal, the elimination of war itself. This should have been obviously unrealistic, in light of human nature, but it was the narrative that the culture of Europe adopted. The return of war a mere 20 years later, with even greater terror and destruction, led to wholesale disillusionment.
What do you think was the source of the hubris itself?
My suspicion is that it was the naive, utopian ideas of Enlightenment and Progressive thought. But this conclusion is in keeping with my personal views and biases toward a Christian Conservative outlook, so I'd like to read some contrary views.

At the time, there was not only a rising belief in man's mastery of all things through scientific progress, but also a strong Social Gospel movement, continuing from the 19th Century. This movement was connected with secular Progressive government reforms, alcohol prohibition, women's suffrage, labor law, and public school reform.
You can see the two threads together in Woodrow Wilson, I believe.
Some claim the Scopes Trial marked the point at which the secular Progressives (Clarence Darrow) signaled they were done with, no longer needed, the religious Progressives (William Jennings Bryan).
In the long term, I fear you are right, but may the long term be a bit longer, and the loaned time not be called just yet.

I've always wondered about Alfred Nobel. Dynamite is basically nitroglycerin stabilized in clay, right? So I don't think it's more powerful than nitroglycerin alone. It simply makes it safer.
That would seem to be the exact opposite of Nobel's claims.
dnewlander (View Comment):
He was apparently talking about the next theoretical step, as dynamite had already been used in war. His father was in the "things that go kaboom" business, and Alfred Nobel advanced his father's work, until, later in life, he became concerned about where destructive technology was going. The link in the OP is to the Nobel Prize organization, with an evenhanded summary of his life's work.
Alfred Nobel's direct involvement in the war materiel sector did not come about until during the later stages of his life. It was also at this time that his interest in the question of peace came into practical expression. His thoughts on war and peace were set out in many years of correspondence with the Austrian peace partisan and authoress of the famous anti-war novel "Lay down Your Arms", Bertha von Suttner.

To the extent it is still remembered, it is frustrating to see the Scopes Trial cast as liberal v conservative, rather than a fight between two strains of progressivism. I wrote about the real Scopes Trial some time ago on Ricochet.
Gumby Mark (View Comment):
Thanks for the reinforcement. Outstanding post. I need to get in the habit of searching on Ricochet for references, before the broader internet. This, of course, happens after WWI, after the Weimar Constitution, and after the U.S. Senate had rejected the Treaty of Versailles, which would have made the U.S. a member of the League of Nations.
I commend, again, the linked BBC video in the OP. It runs about 45 minutes. Gets at the subtleties of elite and popular attitudes in Great Britain during the Great War and after.
Arizona Patriot (View Comment):
I believe that Andrew Klavan has opined that the culture of Europe died in WWI.
He's certainly not alone – in fact, it seems blaringly obvious. If you want to define "Culture" as the usual products of artists, the work that came out after the Great War was a raw, bleeding, ugly howl, as if the very idea of beauty needed to be repudiated in light of what had happened. But before the war, they'd been leading up to it. All the old standards and styles were dissolving, anticipating a new type of art, leaning into the ugliness, eager for the old order to die. It's as if there was a great unspoken and unslaked appetite for the destruction of everything, with the belief it would be purifying and clarifying, and the tired century could be stowed in the crypt along with the others.
A culture bored with its successes and accomplishments doesn't become suicidal, but it becomes curiously acquiescent to its murder.

Your thesis, if I'm understanding it correctly, is that the extraordinary cost of the Great War required it be justified by an extraordinary lofty goal, the elimination of war itself.
I think they retconned that in towards the end. At first it was revenging the Hun who'd raped Belgium.
This should have been obviously unrealistic, in light of human nature, but it was the narrative that the culture of Europe adopted.
Can't blame them for that, can you? It wasn't human nature that had caused the war, as they saw it, but the System – Kaiserism, militarism, interlocking treaties, monarchy, lack of national self-determination, etc. These things had been established by men, and hence could be undone by men who took a supranational view of humanity, and were not bound by the structures that got everyone into the mess.
The problem with the schools of thought you mention? They assume too much – innate human goodness, widespread adoption of transcendent values – and discount the historical record as a document of postlapsarian scrums and struggles awaiting the revelation of Progressive ideals. Naive and utopian as they may have seemed, there was an appetite for systemic rethinking of Western Civ, because it was obvious to all the bright people that Western Civ had shat the bed and screwed the pooch. Fire sale on cultural self-conceptions: everything must go. Christianity got swept out along with the other traditions, because the fields of France had been turned into charnel houses under His watch, no providential hand had stayed the men who charged out of the trenches to mechanized death, and the remnant echoes of previous religious wars smothered the message of Grace under a stifling quilt of sectarian strife and political opportunism.
Progressive ideas were tall and firm and shiny in an era where everything else had been cut to ribbons. They hadn't been tried so they had no record of failure.
James Lileks (View Comment):
Yes, and this was apparently Mr. H.G. Wells's meaning of the phrase. They meant, early on, to end the Prussians' ability to indulge their taste for martial affairs, by beating them soundly.
So, the early usage of "the war to end [all] war[s]," might be like Woodrow Wilson's "[t]he world must be made safe for democracy." Both aimed at Prussia and the Kaiser as the problem.
In that speech, seeking a declaration of war, he also proclaimed the Prussians had placed spies inside our country before the war. Lots of people ended up arrested and detained. A very Progressive policy.
I Walton
And always will. Only a hegemon can enforce international law. We tried to build a world of law with the UN and the post war institutions but it worked only to the extent we became the hegemon with overwhelming power and actually tried to improve the world. The latter gradually turned us into a policing power and that gave rise to war as well. Decentralization works better than centralization at the national level and there is little reason to believe that even more remote power will do better. The best way to avoid global war is to keep the US, (a status quo power that flourishes with peace and commerce), overwhelmingly more powerful than any other and to keep it's own governance as decentralized as possible so that the accumulation of remote interests does not take that apparatus in the wrong directions. Nobody has crafted better notions about these matters than our own founders.
I agree. Lincoln did the same thing during the Civil War, with the Emancipation Proclamation and Gettysburg. Obviously, slavery was a significant cause of the Civil War in the first place, as it was the underlying reason for secession, but ending slavery was not the original justification for the war itself in the North.
In both cases, it was the tide of events that initially escalated the conflict into war, and the narrative developed later.
I think that the breakdown of Christianity in Europe generally, and in Britain particularly significantly preceded WWI. I submit that this breakdown was the cause of the hubris and naivete of the progressive movement.
My principal source is CS Lewis. The quote is rather lengthy, so I'll post it separately below.
The following is from C.S. Lewis' essay The Decline of Religion, originally published in 1946:
The 'decline of religion' so often lamented (or welcomed) is held to be shown by empty chapels. Now it is quite true that chapels which were full in 1900 are empty in 1946. But this change was not gradual. It occurred at the precise moment when chapel ceased to be compulsory. It was not in fact a decline; it was a precipice. The sixty men who had come because chapel was a little later than 'rollers' (its only alternative) came no more; the five Christians remained. The withdrawal of compulsion did not create a new religious situation, but only revealed the situation which had long existed. And this is typical of the 'decline in religion' all over England.
A footnote explained that 'rollers" referred to a practice at Oxford by which "those students who did not wish to attend the morning chapel service were required to report to the Dean five or ten minutes before the service and have their names put on his roll-call. Thus the 'rollers', who did not go to chapel, had to be up before those who did go." Lewis then continued:
In every class and every part of the country, the visible practice of Christianity has grown very much less in the last fifty years. This is often taken to show that the nation as a whole has passed from a Christian to a secular outlook. But if we judge the nineteenth century from the books it wrote, the outlook of our grandfathers (with a very few exceptions) was quite as secular as our own.
Lewis then discussed the works of Meredith, Trollope, Thackeray, Dickens, and Scott in the Nineteenth Century, before concluding:
I am anxious here not to be misunderstood. I do not mean that Scott was not a brave, generous, honorable man and a glorious writer. I mean that in his work, as in that of most of his contemporaries, only secular and natural values are taken seriously. Plato and Virgil are, in that sense, nearer to Christianity than they.
Thus the 'decline of religion' becomes a very ambiguous phenomenon. One way of putting the truth would be that the religion which has declined was not Christianity. It was a vague Theism with a strong and virile ethical code, which, far from standing against the 'World', was absorbed into the whole fabric of English institutions and sentiment and therefore demanded church-going as (at best) a part of loyalty and good manners and (at worst) a proof of respectability. Hence a social pressure, like the withdrawal of the compulsion, did not create a new situation. The new freedom first allowed accurate observations to be made. When no man goes to church except because he seeks Christ the number of actual believers can at last be discovered.
The Reticulator
If you know of any good historical books that analyze this theme, I would be interested. I am very familiar with the idea that the notion of "progress" came to an end with World War I, but not so familiar with the idea that the idea of progress was overripe and starting to spoil before the war started. Though I suppose some of Marx's writing could give an early clue. (I have read Marx only in quotations by others.)
I don't care to read much in the way of political essays unless they are well grounded in specific places, people, and events.
The Reticulator (View Comment):
I think there was a perfect storm of basically religious apathy (across Europe… it took a few decade to cross the Pond) and technology, both military, but also in the visual and audio arts. Imagine being an okay stage actor in the era of film. Imagine being a portrait or landscape artist in the age of photography. Imagine going from an age where one's influence was entirely local to basically global in a generation. There's no wonder art turned to Surrealism and Impressionism and, later, modernism. A few managed to bridge the gap successfully, but many, many others could and did not. Without a grounding in Faith, where did they get their strength?
Yes, it has to be hard to be in a profession just when everything changes. Imagine being a buggy-maker or bridle factory when the Model T came out. My father was an advertising illustrator in the 1950s, and then suddenly everything was photography. So he learned that and kept going. You either get on the train or get run over by it.
I recommend C.S. Lewis, specifically God in the Dock, which is a collection of his essays. The essay that I quoted above is from this collection. They are political essays, but I think that they may be well-grounded as you specify.
I've read the God in the Dock collection at least twice, and I highly recommend it, but I'm interested in works that give as many historical examples and illustrations as possible.
Schaeffer's "How Then Shall We Live" may be helpful.
Richard Easton (View Comment):
I've read that, too, and probably still have it on my bookshelf along with others of his books. It does have some historical illustrations, but I'm interested in one that goes more into specifics. Fussy, aren't I?
Paul Johnson's Modern Times would give you more specifics (it's less theological in nature).

Why Apple, Google, and Facebook deleted Infowars
Alex Jones has now been banned from Twitter and from Apple's App Store.

September 7, 2018: Alex Jones app removed from App Store
Following removal from Apple Podcasts, Facebook Pages, and YouTube, and much more recently, Twitter, Apple has added the App Store to the list of Platforms where Alex Jones and InfoWars are no longer welcome.
Buzzfeed:
A day after being banned from Twitter, Alex Jones and Infowars have been booted from yet another platform: Apple's popular App Store. As of Friday evening, searches on the App Store for Infowars return no results.
Apple confirmed the app's removal to BuzzFeed News, but declined comment, pointing to its App Store Review Guidelines. The company said Infowars would not be permitted to return to the App Store.
No word from Apple on why, or why Apple waited until Twitter took action against Jones to follow through on the App Store. Also no word on when or if Google will undertake similar action on the Play Store.
Apple Podcasts, one of the largest and most popular podcast directory service on the planet, has de-listed four out of five of Alex Jones's Infowars shows — not just specific episodes but the entire shows — for violating the terms of service against hate speech.
From Buzzfeed:
In a statement Sunday evening to BuzzFeed News, Apple confirmed that it notified Jones of the decision to remove the five shows under its hate speech guidelines earlier this weekend. "Apple does not tolerate hate speech, and we have clear guidelines that creators and developers must follow to ensure we provide a safe environment for all of our users," a company spokesperson said. "Podcasts that violate these guidelines are removed from our directory making them no longer searchable or available for download or streaming. We believe in representing a wide range of views, so long as people are respectful to those with differing opinions."
Spotify, Facebook, and YouTube have followed Apple's lead. Twitter and Twitter-owned Periscope have not.
last 6 months I've had dozens of convos w/ ppl at YT & FB. most have taken principled stands about why this channel had to remain up. They suggested those pressuring to remove the page didn't understand nuances of moderation. Funny how that all evaporated after Apple took action! https://t.co/2lT6BBC1Kc

If you're not familiar with them or didn't realize Apple had content guidelines for the podcast directory, here's the iTunes Partner FAQ:
Podcasts, and content linked from podcasts, cannot contain any of the following:
Use of explicit language in the podcast when the tag is not set to "yes"
Explicit or self-censored explicit language in podcast titles, subtitles, or descriptions
References to illegal drugs, profanity, or violence in the podcast title, description, or artwork
Content that could be construed as racist, misogynist, or homophobic
Content depicting graphic sex, violence, gore, illegal drugs, or hate themes
Third-party trademarks or content without authorization or usage rights
The words "Apple Music," "Podcasts app," "iTunes Store," "iTunes," or "Apple Inc."
Content which is irrelevant or spam
iTunes Store logo, Apple logo, Apple Podcasts logo, or the term "Exclusive" without prior authorization from Apple
Basically, in order to have a podcast, you have to have an RSS — really simple syndication — feed, and you have to submit that feed to Apple. Apple glances at it and if it blatantly violates the guidelines, it gets rejected. But, if people complain to Apple about the content in a podcast, Apple will also investigate those complaints and similarly reject — aka de-list — shows that are found to be in violation.
Individuals can still add those shows manually to their own Apple Podcasts app by going to Library > Edit > Add Podcast by URL… and pasting in the RSS, but they won't be suggested, listed, or otherwise marketed by Apple.
YouTube told BuzzFeed News that "when users violate" the platform's terms and policies "repeatedly, like our policies against hate speech and harassment of our terms prohibiting circumvention of our enforcement measures, we terminate their accounts."
Facebook, in a press release, said:
We believe in giving people a voice, but we also want everyone using Facebook to feel safe. It's why we have Community Standards and remove anything that violates them, including hate speech that attacks or dehumanizes others. Earlier today, we removed four Pages belonging to Alex Jones for repeatedly posting content over the past several days that breaks those Community Standards.
Apple didn't remove all the shows. One still remains, and Apple hasn't commented on why that is.
Nor have Apple or Google removed the Infowars app from the App Store or Google Play Store respectively. That app provides full access to the same and more content than the podcasts. Neither Apple nor Google have commented on why those apps remain, despite appearing to violate very similar content policies as Apple Podcasts and YouTube.
Pacific:
Amid mounting public pressure to address Jones' hate speech, Apple's Tim Cook and Eddy Cue met over the weekend and decided to pull five of Jones' podcasts from their platform, sources familiar with the matter told me.
Cook and Cue decided to let Jones' InfoWars app remain available in the app store because they felt it did not run afoul of their policy.
Reaction has been mixed and, as expected, extreme. On one end you have people still upset it took so long to get the shows removed and livid that the apps remain. On the other, you have people who believe it sets a dangerous precedent that will inevitably be used to restrict ideas on the world's biggest platforms.
There's also been a lot of sensationalism thrown around, and a lot of misunderstanding.
First, that Apple, Google, Facebook, etc. don't already moderate content. They absolutely do and always have.
Porn is perhaps the clearest example. Most of the major platforms won't host or list porn on their servers or in their directories.
People will argue about the lines between art and nudity and porn, about why male nipples aren't removed when female nipples are, or complain about photos of breastfeeding or become indignant at those who complain, but most reasonable people and platforms accept that there is a line when it crosses over into porn and that's not something they want to host or see on the networks.
The same is true for other content types that violate the standards and policies of the platform.
Second, that this is somehow a freedom of speech issue. It isn't. There's no freedom of speech on someone else's dime.
Apple, Google, Facebook, etc. aren't countries or governments. They're companies. Every publisher and every store has the freedom to set its own content policy, as long as it doesn't violate the law.
That means, as much as it makes me personally heartbroken, NPR is under no obligation to air my dog bark theater, BBC my Babylon 5 Puppets reboot, or the National Post my Cooking With Dirt column. Tears, I know.
No one here is being denied freedom of speech. They're being denied free marketing. They can still set up and pay for their own distribution platforms, if that's what they want to do.
Third, that this is censorship of any kind.
To be clear, Facebook not publishing tushies is another example of standards and policies, not censorship. For it to be censorship, a government would have to force Facebook to remove tushies and bar them from future tushie-publishing. That would be censorship and still not by Facebook but by the government compelling Facebook.
Now, some will argue that Apple, Google, and Facebook are so enormous that they have become an oligarchy that controls most content distribution on the planet and should be treated as a de factor country when it comes to issues like freedom of speech and censorship.
Or, alternatively, that the U.S. governments elected representatives should decide rather than the companies boards of directors and executives.
The second part is ridiculous simply because it's yet another example of people forgetting that there are more countries in the world than the U.S., and we've seen what happens when China, for example, starts exercising content control over internet companies.
The first part could be argued but doing so after years of content moderation — and worse, years of abuse like running psyops on its users and Cambridge Analytica scandals — sounds kind of like cherry picking a symptom long after the patient died of the disease.
Here's my take: I'm deeply concerned about how much influence and control the major internet megacorporations have over our information and our lives, but this isn't that.
But, yeah, I'm going there — with awesome power comes awesome responsibility — and I'd be more worried if, like Twitter, these companies were all feeding us to the collective wolves.
Lines should be broad but they should be clear. Policies should be consistent but they should be transparent.
Reasonable people can agree on reasonable limits. We already do. Every day. On everything from what's a crime to what's not to what's porn and what's not. We can agree on a line here to, and we can debate it with intelligence and passion to make sure it covers enough, but just enough, and never gets pushed back or pushed forward for our collective peril.
Because, ultimately, we are all in this together, and we're all we have.

Snapchat video shows Florida teen whipping dog with leather belt, deputies say

A 19-second video showed the teen continuing to beat the whimpering dog, while he and a friend laughed, deputies said.
The dog was pinned to the ground by the neck and hit three more times on its backside, the report said.
Deputies traced the video to the 15-year-old friend, who admitted it wasn't a smart idea to post the incident on Snapchat.
The teen told investigators that he typically uses a belt to discipline his dogs.
The Palm Coast Animal Control seized both of the teen's dogs and took them to Flagler Animal Hospital to be assessed, the newspaper reported.

Owen Paterson: Jacob Rees-Mogg admits 'mistake' in supporting former Tory minister as government completes U-turn amid ongoing sleaze series | Politics news
Jacob Rees-Mogg has admitted that the government made "a mistake" in defending Owen Paterson after violating MPs' lobbying rules when the government completed its U-turn on controversial plans to reform Parliament's standard committee.
The Commons leader said he called on Prime Minister Boris Johnson to support one amendments calling for the establishment of a new standard committee to develop plans for a new appeals system as he "felt that Owen had been punished enough by the death of his wife".
Speaking to MPs on Tuesday, Rees-Mogg added: "It was simply the tragedy that hit Mr Patterson, colored and clouded our judgment – and my judgment – wrong. And it's as simple and as sad as that."
Owen Paterson resigned as MP earlier this month, saying the situation had become too much for his family
Former Prime Minister Theresa May criticized the government's attempt to tear up the rules to help a colleague.
"The attempt of right-wing and honorable members of this House, helped and supported by the government under the guise of reforming the process – effectively to clear his name – was misplaced, poorly judged and simply wrong," Mrs May told the Commons.
Mrs May said that "there has been damage to all Members of Parliament and Parliament as a whole", adding: "It would be a mistake to think that because someone broke the rules, the rules were wrong."
Tuesday's Commons debate came as the government successfully implemented a U-turn over Owen Paterson row through a new proposal in the Commons, which MPs nodded through without a vote.
More about the House of Parliament
Earlier this month, Conservative MPs were given a three-line whip to support the amendment, tabled by former Minister Andrea Leadsom.
It called for Tory's ex-minister, Mr Paterson, to be rescued from a 30-day suspension from the House of Commons, and for a new Conservative-dominated committee to be reconsidered in Parliament's disciplinary proceedings.
But only 250 MPs supported the proposal, and opposition MPs promised to boycott the committee before Rees-Mogg announced a U-turn, and said that any reform of the standard system would require cross-party support.

MEPs also chose not to support the cross-party standard committee's call for a six-week parliamentary exclusion for Mr Paterson to break the lobbying rules, but hours later he resigned as a Member of Parliament said the situation had become too much for his family.
Despite Mr Paterson's resignation as Member of Parliament for North Shropshire, members of the new proposal approved the finding that he had broken Commons rules by repeatedly lobbying ministers and officials on behalf of two firms for which he worked as a paid consultant.
Earlier this month, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Steve Barclay, admitted at the mailbox instead of the Prime Minister that the government "made a mistake" in the matter.

Boris Johnson has declined to apologize for his handling of the Owen Paterson lobbying scandal.
And when he introduced the new Commons proposal on Tuesday, Rees-Mogg said: "The underlying amendment we supported was intended to facilitate exploration across batches of the standard system with a time-limited, ad hoc committee.
"I regret, however, that the amendment mixed a single case with more general concerns. It was a mistake.
"It is crucial that the amendment does not have cross – party support and that is why we have changed our approach."
In a speech in the Conservative Homes podcast 'Moggcast' before the debate, the Commons leader said: "I must take my share of the responsibility for this.
"I thought it was the right thing to do. I urged the Prime Minister to go this route and I was wrong. I made a mistake.
"The question is why I made this mistake, which in hindsight seems to be a really obvious mistake to have made.
"It's because there was a confusion between elements of the process that were difficult – the time it took when it was one of them – and the personal and the personal was overwhelming Rose's death. [Paterson].
"I felt that Owen had been punished enough by the death of his wife and therefore let this confusion take place in my mind.
"And it was clearly a mistake. It was not perceived by the electorate as being merciful, it was seen as being self-governing, and it has been neither helpful to the government nor to parliament."
Shadow Commons leader Thangam Debbonaire called on Mr Rees-Mogg to apologize to MPs for the damage done to Parliament on the basis of the government's actions, telling Commons: "Standards mean something. Review means something. An independent system that keeps everyone in it public life to account issues. "
Owen Paterson resigns as Member of Parliament
At the time of the announcement of the government's U-turn, some Tory MPs said Mr Barclay's words did not go far enough, and former chief whip Mark Harper urged Mr Johnson to make a formal apology.
While the Prime Minister has refused to apologize for the situation, he has said that it is "very important" to get the standard system in order.
At a Downing Street news conference Sunday, Mr Johnson acknowledged he could have handled the situation better.
"Of course I think things could definitely have been handled better, let me put it this way by me," he said.
But when he spoke to reporters during a visit to a medical center in Forest Gate in east London on Monday, the prime minister refused to be drawn into the ongoing dispute over MPs' standards.
As for the lack of an apology in the podcast section, Mr Rees-Mogg says that "the issue of an apology is always about sincerity".
The commons will on Tuesday debate a new proposal for the implementation of the government's complete overhaul
The government had quietly tried to approve the Commons standards watchdog report on Mr Paterson's "gross" breach of lobbying rules on Monday night.
But this proved to be a failure after Conservative veteran Sir Christopher Chope objected to the move.
The MP for Christchurch has previously used the move to block other Commons movements and defend his actions by saying that measures should be discussed instead of just going through without resistance.
Opposition MPs described the scenes in the Commons on Monday night as a "total farce".
In a speech in the Commons on Tuesday, Sir Christopher said he "does not regret" delaying the Westminster sleaze debate the day before.
Meanwhile, all the former living cabinet secretaries have signed a letter to the prime minister urging him to strengthen his role as the independent adviser to the minister's interests and the commissioner of public appointments.
The signatories, including Lord Sedwill – who left office only last year – said "we need everyone in positions of trust to set an example".
Their letter added that the ministerial law "must be strictly enforced".

We have complete control over design – other firms do 'specials' at inflated prices. 'Specials' is our bread and butter. We consider them as normal and we make no excess charge for making units to non-standard dimensions. We will design into the awkward spaces where other companies fear to tread. We design special arrangements for larders and laundries, under stairs and in the slope of a roof.
We supply a wide range of appliances and accessories. As Premier Partners with AEG, Electrolux and Zanussi we are able to offer core ranges of all these brands at competitive prices and with a warrantee extension at no extra cost thus giving you peace of mind.
Over recent years we have been commissioned increasingly regularly to take on larger projects. Sometimes they involves just two rooms, kitchen & utility or bedroom and en suite, sometimes involving full house renovation including building work. In the latter cases we use our long established network of local tradesmen to add to our own expertise and we manage the entire project thus taking the stress and worry of your shoulders.
Our prices are honest and are based on the manufacturing cost of your furniture. We have low advertising and sales costs and no middlemen to pay. We are often asked 'Do you have a sale?". The quick answer is that we don't. The longer answer is that, on occasions, we have ex display kitchens, cancelled or postponed orders for builders who are not ready to take their furniture and special offers from some of our suppliers. The fact is though that if you see someone offering a sale that seems too good to be true then make no mistake, it is too good to be true. If retailers can offer an extra 20% on top of their already 40% sale then they are overcharging to start with (and over-charging by an awful lot). Our prices reflect the cost of producing good quality well designed schemes for your home – no more, no less.
In the other pages on this site you will find information about our particular products and services.
Manufacture: Many claim to do just that when in fact they are buying in carcases from one supplier and doors from someone else. We really do manufacture and you are welcome to call us to arrange to look round our workshop and see the furniture being made.

Jaguar will be an all-electric car brand from 2025
Photo by Sean O'Kane / The Verge
UK automaker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) says its Jaguar luxury brand will be all-electric by 2025. Meanwhile, its Land Rover brand will release its first all-electric vehicle in 2024, the first of six fully electric models planned for release over the next five years. JLR's transition will be funded by a £2.5 billion (around $3.5 billion) a year investment into electrification and related technologies, Bloomberg reports.
JLR's plans are ambitious, but the automaker has previously been slow to embrace electrification. It's only fully electric car to date is the Jaguar I-Pace SUV, which Bloomberg notes has struggled to make inroads against more established electric carmakers. Even then, the car is built by a contractor, rather than being…
