Do you think Wilson's ideas for creating world peace is realistic?

Wilson's Fourteen Points isn't really that rtealistic because he tries to appeal to everyone, such as all the different nations, taxpayers, anti-imperialists, etc. Because he tries to appeal to these different groups of people, these different groups will argue and always want the Fourteen Points to change in their favor. Because there are so many different opinions and desires, one peace plan can't possibly satisfy everyone. So there will always be some groups of people that won't be satisfied. For an example, certain leaders of the Allied nations with aspirations to gain more territory, were not enthusiastic with the 5th point, which stated an adjustment of colonial claims int he interests of both native peoples and the colonizers (it appealed to anit-imperialists).
