The short is answer is yes, but there are many conditions that apply to tourism in North Korea.
First, it's important to note that almost all non-documented travelers in North Korea are detained, and sent to work in hard labor camps. This is not hyperbole.
Secondly, if you are a documented traveler, you must remain in contact with a state tour guide at almost all times. The only exception being when you're in your hotel room. It's also important to keep in mind that you are not alone in your hotel room. The phone lines are tapped, and the hotel room bugged.
Any and all speech is likely to be monitored. If you are serious about travel in North Korea, do not speak ill of Dear Leader Kim Jong-Il, Eternal Leader Kim Il-Sung, or soon to be leader, Kim Jung-Un. Again, this is not hyperbole.
China helped the North Koreans and NATO helped the South Koreans.
Depends, which one are you talking about, the recent one or the Korean war one? Well the Korean war one was because Kim Jong wanted the South Korea to reunite with North Korea with North Korea as the leader and the recent bombardment of South Korea's island was because north Korea said they felt "threatened" when the south Koreans did a live military drill near the borders
Only the important politicians, sports players (e.g. football and Olympics) are allowed. The commoners are generally forbidden from going out. Most people wanting to go out escape by crossing to China, Russia, or South Korea.
the illegal south Korean government blocked reunification of Korea
No, the UN, (including the US), and South Korea were fighting North Korea and China, (who had some help from the Soviet Union).
It appeared the South Koreans were more fearful of the North Koreans.

Depends on which Korea. South Koreans have the highest average IQ in the world according to OCED. North Korea, however, probably has one of the lowest. South Koreans who have embraced democracy has come so much further than North Korea. Even look at their height comparison, South Koreans are the tallest Asians at 175cm (5'9), but North Koreans are the shortest at 166cm (5'5).
the north koreans wanted to rule the south..but the south fought back. and then they agreed to seperate as individual countries :(
China.
south Korea
China and Russia are two countries that supported the North Koreans.
actually you are forbidden to leave or enter without permission of the government but the way most koreans escape is through south koreans tunnel which south koreans build to help north koreans escape in to south korea
I think that South Koreans would generally be afraid of the leader of North Korea and the military he controls. More recently, the threat of nuclear strikes has that region in fear.
Enter South Korea and drive the North Koreans back into North Korea.
