Unfortunately, it will not. It will spring a new race to make a hardy missile, faster missile or something else. For exanple, Russia has a working design of fast-rotating modification of Tupol ICBM. The idea is to spread and decipate the heat over larger area - laser is not exactly a bullet after all.

Just few more trillions of $ to the dust bin. Why not keep the current status quo and send a man to Mars instead ?
