I like him just fine historically, but I don't think he can hold court with the other faces on that monument, just my opinion. But if I were to make a case for him, I can argue that only he and Jimmy Carter were Presidents that made serious efforts towards establishing and maintaining peace. His Fourteen Points, while a failure diplomatically for the most part, were genius and revolutionary for the time.
An idea of Freedom of the Seas, for example, was foreign to most imperial wisdom of the time, and today it is commonly accepted international law. His League of Nations, which seemed pie in the sky optimistic (and it probably was) at the time, was the forerunner of the United Nations today which, while it still has issues, has done a lot of good in this world over the past 65 years.
So Wilson avoided war as long as possible, then tried to cure the world of war once it was over, and I'd have to give him some credit for that, even if not a face on Rushmore.
