I don't look at karma as a moral issue but instead, a learning experience.
exactly! it's physics. ...newton's 3rd law.
every action has an equal and opposite reaction... but the opposite force of reaction is not to the same mass.... it may manifest in many ways and travel on many waves of varying frequency and amplitude affecting mass(es) throughout the universe. if you can identify with, and know your "self", as an integral, holographic component of the universe you will experience instant karma (the fast-track learning mode)... when you hate, you'll feel hurt, when you love, you'll feel comfort.
some people live within a thick ego shell, separated in identity from the universe, and some have a very high pain threshold which makes them subject to KADD (karmic awareness deficit disorder)... but eventually, and inevitably, learning takes place...
He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget, falls drop by drop upon the heart, until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom by the awful grace of God. -- Aeschylus (524 BC - 456 BC)
for purposes of this post, god, universe, nature and "self" are interchangeable terms (synonyms)
george w. bush, dick cheney and most of the people they surround themselves with are KADDs.
you and i not only experience our own karmic energy, we also feel the effects of their karma as it rips through the universe. it is, as you say, "a learning experience"... or to put it in bumper sticker wisdom... OUR DOGMA GETS RUN OVER BY THEIR KARMA!
i prefer my learning to come from more comfortable karmic energy and it often does. for example, i miss john lennon but i still feel his karma running over my dogma with those big, nice, warm, soft tires every once in a while when i hear "imagine", "give peace a chance", "instant karma" or even just a nice little love song...

you're right pct, karma is not a moral issue it's a cause and effect catalyst for learning
and we all shine on
