Why did MacArthur chose Inchon?
MacArthur wanted to cut the supply lines of the North Korean army. Inchon was what is called a turning movement. Instead of going at an enemy force, you go around them and capture some strategic objective in the enemy's rear which totally disrupts their ability to function. North Korean supply lines ran through Seoul. Seoul, being close to Inchon, was vulnerable to an amphibious assault. The North Koreans were not defending Seoul adequately because all their troops were committed to breaking the Pusan Perimeter. They never expected a landing at Inchon(see David Halberstram's "The Coldest Winter"). Basically, landing at Inchon would take the North Koreans by surprise. Taking Seoul would cut their supply lines. The risks were much less than going straight at the North Koreans' front lines. And it would force the North Koreans to abandon the invasion of South Korea. That is why General MacArthur took the risk.

Why is North Korea attacking South Korea?
I'm not exactly sure why, but I know a bit. They divided because some people wanted communism, and the other wanted democracy, so they divided. But North Koreans are attacking south koreans, threatening S. Korea for food, for they are lacking of food while S. Koreans are one of the richest countries(well, almost, in economics, they are one of the highest), and south Korea just wants peace, so S. koreans give them the things they want, and try to become connected again, but the north korea's dictator won't take it.

Korea was occupied in the Northern half by the communists (Soviet Union at first) and the Southern Korea area was governed and inhabited by Koreans who managed to get out of North Korea or were natives of South Korea.

Why did north Korea boycott the 1988 olympic games in Seoul?
Its all about Jealousy. North Korea hates seeing its Southern Neighbour succeed in world wide events. Kim Il-sung thinks North Korea is the supirior Korea and that the South has no place in the modern world. He must have been so pissed when he found out his neighbour's economy overtook his in the 70s and 80s. So when Seoul won the olympic bid, North Korea threw a tantrum and demanded to the Olympic committee that half the games take place in their capital Pyongyang (they claim this would make the world see Korea as one country which is what they want). The Olympic committee said that Seoul and Seoul alone won the right to host the 1988 olympics but could offer North Korea only some events to keep it happy. North Korea refused and boycotted the games in protest.
