Most likely it would just shatter it into smaller asteroids, which might do more total damage than the original asteroid.

How can you stop an asteroid from hitting earth?

Small asteroids can be deflected by explosives (ordinary or nuclear) if they are far enough away. The problem is getting the explosives there. Asteroids travel at orbital speeds of thousands of kilometers an hour, and a large rocket would be required to reach the asteroid and match its speed, so that it could rendezvous and detonate. Hitting an asteroid with a head-on shot would be extremely difficult if not impossible, and could result in a shower of smaller pieces hitting the Earth.

If an asteroid impact were to stop the Earth from rotating how big would that asteroid need to be?

size doesn't matter its the angle and speed of the asteroid that it is at, plus if that did happen the earth would either drift off into space and eventually get back into a orbit because of the suns gravity or explodes and everything would just flip, roll over, fall how ever you wanna put it. plus its nearly impossible for a asteroid to do that it would probably do what i said in the second sentence.

Manhattan Project arguments?

The Manhattan Project was the code name of the atomic bomb building project that was taking place in America during World War II. The argument for the creation of the bomb was that the Germans were in a race to develop nuclear weapons, and the US wanted to have the technology first. Then, the rationale for dropping the bomb changed focus to Japan when it was believed that they would not stop the fighting unless extreme force was used against them.
