I liked this idea from some book:

1.) detect general position of target
2.) fly missiles into "close range" of target (less than a couple of light-seconds, so random evasive maneuvers won't matter)
at this point the relative velocity of missile and target is very high, so instead of trying to hit it directly
3.) detonate nuclear warhead and use it to power a single laser shot aimed at target

The perfect way to do war, would be to just assassinate each others leaders over and over again until at some point one side get's one, that thinks getting assassinated is not really worth whatever they started that war over. Then that side loses and the war is done.
Casualties should be about 5-10 politicians.
